FYI. Something I read this morning on the internet.
DAR Tim Mahoney of St. Cloud, Minn., called the FAA about the issue,
according to VAF-MN chief Doug Weiler. "The FAA said youre responsible to
maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition. If youre flying an
airplane with a known safety deficiency, youre not complying with the
letter of the law," Doug reported.
Mahoney also sought and got clarification from the EAAs Joe Norris which
said, the mandatory service bulletin issues by kit vendors are not by
themselves legally binding. However, other aircraft are required to be
operated in a condition for safe operation. The SB must not be ignored. The
operator must respond in some fashion . The manner in which this is
addressed is up to the builder. Simply following the guidelines are the best
way, but they are not legally binding. If youre confident you can defend
your claim that the aircraft is operating in a safe condition, then approach
it accordingly.
